    The battery had short life and has started to bulge
    The battery was provided in poor condition. It only lasted an hour or so as opposed to my older battery that lasts hours on hours. The battery has started to bulge and is not safe to use.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works and a good value.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    My battery on my years old headset was starting to drain faster creating that dreaded beep in the ear in the middle of longer calls. I searched for replacement batteries and was pretty excited to see this option that included a battery AND a way to charge the second one simultaneously allowing a switch out in those situations for not much more $$. Concern was it would not be compatible, but it is.

    Upon receiving it there was no instructions for removing the old non-charging cradle portion included, and youtube didn't have any vids showing how to do it either. I didn't want to force anything and break it so I called Plantronics CS and they answered quickly and told me what to do. The answer, in case you need it too, is yank on it straight up...it is a pressure fit and there are no clips in danger of breaking. I moment later and I was up and running.

    Changing the battery is trivially easy and minor interruption the one time I had to do it mid-call. I loved this headset already, and love it even more now.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I could not get my employer to buy this so I bought it myself, and it is well worth it! Had to google comments made by others to get it installed because I didn’t want to break anything, but I needn’t have worried. Snaps right on to the base and now I can swap batteries in the middle of a meeting without missing more than a few seconds. I would recommend buying another battery and stick to the new ones. The newer battery lasts so much longer than my old one that I have to switch it out for the partially charged new one, and I am worried it’s going to get a “charge memory” even though it is lithium and not Ni-Cad. It is just mor convenient to have two batteries that both last a long time. If you use it a LOT I would suggest having three new batteries and using them sequentially so they wear out at the same rate.

    Love this cradle amd spare battery for my headset! It's easy to install on the headset base in seconds, works great, and gives me freedom from a strict charging schedule. I used to forget to cradle my headset occassionally and return to work with a dead battery, but now with this new cradle and spare battery, i can still swap out the battery and start my workday without fret. The spare battery fits securely in the headset and in the charging cradle, and I love that it has a separate light to indicate the charging status of the secondary charging port. It's a great buy, super reasonable price, and quick shipping!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great way to stay charged!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    In my line of work, it is important to stay charged 8 hours a day. Before this device, It was very difficult to swap batteries because you cannot just place a battery on the original charger for it to charge because it will not charge a battery solo. You need to have the battery connected to the headset. What is great about this charger is it seems that it charges a battery faster and the battery stays charged longer. While talking for long periods of time, the battery will slowly begin to die but only after a few hours. When the battery begins to die, you will hear a quiet beep that will give you plenty of time to put your client on hold and swap batteries. Normally this swap takes around 15 seconds. With practice, it may only take about 10. It takes longer to put the headset back on the way you had it then it does to swap the batteries. In the end, it is worth the price. Hope this helps!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018

    This installed on my base and worked great. Just pull up hard on the cradle portion of your existing base and remove the cradle then replace it with this one. Nice to be able to have a spare battery that is charged and ready to go. The battery can be changed during the call, just the caller to hang on, have the fresh battery ready, and then swap batteries; Put the headset back on and you will hear a chirp and you are back online. Truly unlimited talk time. I have used these headsets at work and at home for 4 or 5 years now. It was time to get the spare battery and charger for my unit at home. Genuine Plantronics charger and battery. Works great!

    When I saw this I thought my prayers were answered. Nope, still sitting on my desk. No instructions and I’m afraid to take apart my base and be without a headset. The only thing I use is the extra battery that came with it. Waste of money.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy fix for broken cradle
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    We have quite a few Savi headset systems. What I am noticing over time is the batteries "seem" to stop taking a charge. What is actually happening though, is the small connectors that charge the spare battery inside the cradle sometimes get bent or stop engaging with the battery properly. This makes it appear as though the battery may be bad when in fact the charger is not fully charging the batter.

    The way to identify this problem is to view the green charging light on the side of the cradle when the spare battery is in place. If it is off when the battery is in, the battery is not engaged with the charging device.

    The 'fix' is to simply pick up a new cradle like we have here and replace it!

    This is a great improvement to the charger that came with my headset. My only complaint is that there is no on/off switch on the battery. Even considering that, this is a great value. This is especially handy since you can swap the battery while you are on a call - and you don't lose the call.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Additional bay to charge an additional battery does not always work
    Reviewed in Germany on January 4, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this in 2013 and post my feedback in 2018 after several years of use.
    Since 2017 I've noticed that when I place a battery on the additional battery Bay to charge, that the battery will not charge (there is a LED light that would blink while is charging and would go to a steady lighted state once the battery is fully charged).
    I have purchased an additional 7 Batteries for the Headset so that I have plenty of spare batteries and all of them have this issue (so it is NOT a battery problem, but the charging bay instead).
    I noticed that if I push with my finger the charging bay right at the latching point the battery will start to charge - this indicates to me that the latching mechanism, which is made out of plastic, is no longer latching properly/tightly as it used to. The good news is that with pressing and moving slightly the battery bay and with a little patience, the battery will eventually start charging and once it starts charging than I have to carefully remove my finger from the latching point to let it charge further.

    Perfect for keeping a spare battery charged to swap out between calls. Exact same size as the base the Savi 740 comes with. You simply swap the units and you are ready to store/charge the second battery.
